Embodiment
To provide detailed description of the present invention now.
Prepare according to conductor of the present invention the remainder that described aluminium alloy contains Si, Mg and mainly comprises Al and unavoidable impurities by forming wire harness by many foundation line (elemental wire) that aluminium alloy is made.This conductor has 240MPa or higher tensile strength, 10% or higher elongation at break, 8J/m or higher impact absorption energy, and 40%IACS or higher conductance.
Provide for the explanation of the reason of regulation alloy compositions as mentioned above.In the following description, the content of each formation element is all expressed with unit mass %.
Si combines with Mg to separate out Mg imperceptibly in the Al matrix 2Si particle and other particle, and help to improve the intensity of aluminium alloy baseline.In order to obtain to improve the advantage of intensity, the content of Si is preferably 0.3 to 1.2%.If Si content is less than 0.3%, the advantage that then improves intensity is less, and is difficult to make this conductor to have 240MPa or higher tensile strength.On the other hand, if the content of Si greater than 1.2%, then is difficult to make this conductor to have 40%IACS or higher conductance.
Mg combines with Si to separate out Mg imperceptibly in the Al matrix 2Si particle and other particle, and help to improve the intensity of aluminium alloy baseline.In order to obtain to improve the advantage of intensity, the Mg/Si weight rate is preferably from 0.8 to 1.8 scope, more preferably from 1.0 to 1.4 scope.If the Mg/Si weight rate is less than 0.8, Mg then 2The quantity of Si compound is less, and the advantage that improves intensity is less, and is difficult to make this conductor to have 240MPa or higher tensile strength in view of the above.In addition, excessive Si is transformed into crystalline material, and because the influence of crystalline material, is difficult to make this conductor to have 10% or higher elongation at break and 8J/m or higher impact absorption energy.On the other hand, if the Mg/Si weight rate greater than 1.8, then the solution quantity of excessive Mg becomes big, and is difficult to make this conductor to have 40%IACS or higher conductance.
Except above-mentioned formation element, the aluminium alloy that constitutes according to conductor of the present invention can contain from one or more additive elements of the group selection that comprises Fe, Cu, Cr and Mn.These additive elements help to improve the intensity of aluminium alloy.In order to obtain to improve the advantage of intensity, the total content of additive element is preferably 0.5% or lower.In addition, the number of additive element is preferably two kinds or still less.Bigger additive element content can be easy to reduce elongation at break and impact absorption energy and be easy to increase conductor resistance.
Except above-mentioned formation element, can contain from a kind of or two kinds of additive elements of the group selection that comprises Ti and B according to conductor of the present invention.The percentage elongation that these additive elements have the advantage of finer crystalline texture and help to improve intensity and improve aluminium alloy.In order to obtain the advantage of finer crystalline texture, Ti preferably is not more than 500ppm, and B preferably is not more than 50ppm.The bigger content of these additive elements can be easy to increase conductor resistance.
Because conductor according to the present invention has good tensile strength, elongation at break, impact resistance, conductance, and fatigue durability, so it is applicable to small diameter wire.Conductor according to the present invention is applicable to that its conductor has preferred 0.75mm 2Perhaps littler and be more preferably 0.22 to 0.75mm 2The electric wire of area of section.Therefore, enlarged the range of application of aluminium conductor, and can realize in automotive field that preferably the weight of electric wire reduces.Be noted that this conductor can be compressed conductor.
Below, provide explanation according to the example of conductor production method of the present invention.A kind of conductor production method in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises that many foundation line of being made by the aluminium alloy with above-mentioned alloy compositions by harness prepares the step of wire harness, and described wire harness is carried out solution treatment, then described wire harness is quenched and then described wire harness carried out the aging heat treatment step.
When making the aluminium alloy baseline, the Al of the given content of fusion, Mg and Si are so that the motlten metal that acquisition has institute's phase concentration.Where necessary, Fe, Cu, Cr and Mn are added in this so that the motlten metal that acquisition has institute's phase concentration.
Below, utilize the continuous casting machine casting molten metal with preparation casting rod.Then, the hot-rolling mill that is connected in series by use will be cast rod and be made for wire rod.Can make wire rod by aforesaid continuous casting milling method or by ingot blank casting and extrusion method.In the situation of ingot blank casting and extrusion method, preferably after the ingot blank casting, carry out the processing that homogenizes.Advantageously, be right after Ti and the B that before casting, adds the formation refining agent.
Thereby then wire rod is carried out drawing and have the institute's phase diameter that is used for baseline.If wire rod is owing to the drawing limit ruptures, then suitable words are preferably carried out annealing.
In the harness process, Zhi Bei institute's issue purpose baseline is become wire harness by harness as mentioned above.Then, this wire harness experience heat treatment process.
In heat treatment process, preferably 500 to 580 ℃ of the heating-up temperatures during solution treatment.By carrying out solution treatment, the Mg in aluminium alloy 2The Si compound is dissolved.If the heating-up temperature during solution treatment is lower than 500 ℃, then Mg 2Thereby the Si compound is difficult to dissolve and produces thick compound particles, and can not easily obtain to improve the advantage of intensity.In addition, the work hardening that caused owing to cold working before the harness process is difficult to eliminate, and can not easily obtain to improve the advantage of percentage elongation.On the other hand, if the heating-up temperature during solution treatment is higher than 580 ℃, the then fusion once more mutually of the low melting point in aluminium alloy, and the change color that deforms easily and cause owing to Mg is oxidized.
In heat treatment step, preferably quench by using cooling water to carry out.By carry out quenching, at dissolved Mg in alloy during the solution treatment 2The Si compound is not separated out and is fixed in the alloy in dissolved state.If life period at interval between heating and quenching, then dissolved Mg 2The Si compound is easy to separate out producing thick compound particles, and can not easily obtain to improve the advantage of intensity.Therefore, preferably be right after execution quenching after heating.
Preferably the continuous annealing machine that has a quenching bath by use is carried out solution treatment and quenching in the following manner, that is, make wire harness be heated part and be heated to fixed temperature and be cooled by the quenching bath that is transferred by placing near heating part then.The example of continuous annealing machine comprises electric formula continuous annealing machine, tube furnace continuous annealing machine and high-frequency induction heating continuous annealing machine.Among them, high-frequency induction heating continuous annealing machine is particularly preferred.In the situation of using high-frequency induction heating continuous annealing machine, carry out solution treatment by high-frequency induction heating, and allow to carry out localized heating in view of the above.Therefore, can be close to ground, the thermal treatment zone and settle quench zone.
For example, in structure member, after stopping heating, can keep the condition of high temperature with big thermal capacity.On the contrary, for example in the wire, be right after after stopping heating slowly cooling beginning at structure member with less thermal capacity.Yet, even be right after after stopping to heat structure member that slowly cooling is easy to begin therein for example on the wire with less thermal capacity, be close to ground, the thermal treatment zone as mentioned above and settle quench zone also to allow to carry out to quench from the condition of high temperature.
In addition, ground, the next-door neighbour thermal treatment zone is settled quench zone to allow to carry out continuously heating and is quenched, and is applicable to for example wire of long structure member especially.Heating and quenching have improved conductor productivity ratio continuously.
In heat treatment step, timeliness heat treatment can be separated out in solution treatment and the Mg that has dissolved in alloy during quenching 2The Si compound.Therefore, can improve intensity and conductance.Preferably 150 to 220 ℃ of heating-up temperatures during timeliness heat treatment.Preferably 4 to 20 hours aging heat treatment duration.
If the heating-up temperature during timeliness heat treatment is lower than 150 ℃, the Mg that has then dissolved in alloy 2The Si compound is difficult to separate out, and can not easily obtain to improve the advantage of intensity.On the other hand, if the heating-up temperature during timeliness heat treatment is higher than 220 ℃, the Mg that then separates out 2The Si compound is easy to increase becomes thick particle, and can not easily obtain to improve the advantage of intensity.In addition, if the aging heat treatment duration be shorter than 4 hours, Mg then 2Separating out of Si compound is insufficient, and can not easily obtain to improve the advantage of intensity, and conductor resistance is easy to increase.On the other hand, if aging heat treatment lasted longer than 20 hours, the Mg that then separates out 2The Si compound easily increases becomes thick particle, and can not easily obtain to improve the advantage of intensity.
Preferably when being wrapped on the spool, carries out conductor timeliness heat treatment.Though can carry out timeliness heat treatment in the atmosphere usually, preferably in reducibility gas atmosphere or inert gas atmosphere, carry out timeliness heat treatment to avoid surface oxidation.
Because aforesaid production method can obtain the performance according to conductor of the present invention.Utilize the conductor of the acquisition like this of insulator coating to form insulated electric conductor.
